Hello Statalist members,
I got a question about the weight option in the reg command: I got values for the weight variable that are 0>weight<1. If I just use fweight=weight as an option in the reg command STATA gives the error: "may not use noninteger frequency weights".
If I just multiply the weights so that they are >1 and integers, the sd of the coefficions shrinks unreasonably (just due to an artificial increase in observations), I also cant use pweight because this would increase the variance disproportionately.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Kurt
